This week's progress.
Still steel cutting.
The decks, a before & after of each section.






Test fitting the hull sections revealed some ejector pin marks that fouled the fit of the 6" gun deck.

Fixed.

Last job before keel laying, drilling out the holes for mounting the etched steps for the iron ladders.
Template for the Port hawse pipe steps taped in place.

And drilled with a 0.4mm bit.

Stbd stern chase gunport done, the template is sat on the hull.

The interior test fitted, In this shot the 6" gundeck is the wrong way round, it does actually have a arrow pointing to the bow on it, but I had missed that.

The Hull assembled, the central bulkhead is "fun" to get in the right place.

The fit of the hull halves were not the best fit along the bottom, but easily cured with a bit of filler.

Next job, 6" guns, then the externa detail on the hull.
Cheers
